[Buildroot] [PATCH buildroot-test v2] scripts/autobuild-run: create host-distro file

[Heiko Thiery]

Sometimes autobuilder failures occur only on a specific distribution. To
ease the research for the maintainer/developers add the host distribution
information to the result archive.

The distribution information comes from '/etc/os-release' (or
'/usr/lib/os-release') that seems to be present on the most common distros:

Debian: https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/os-release.5.en.html
Ubuntu: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/os-release.5.html
Red Red: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
Open-Suse: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Find_openSUSE_version

v2:
 - implement comments from Yann
 - copy the whole file (os-release) as host-distro to the result archive
 - reword the commit log
